It was a fun winter morning race! AND surprisingly warm for December. We started the 9k in the middle of the park and headed down toward the ocean. A truly beautiful scenic route throughout Golden Gate Park, and along the ocean. This was a somewhat challenging course due to the incline on the second half of the course. We ended the race near the start and the Hot Chocolate was delicious! I'm kind of disappointed about the organization from the race officials. The corrals were kind of a mess as people were crammed into tiny corrals based on their finishing time. I may be doing this race again, but now I know what to expect.
